Well, I think I have my question answered on the torture issue. I've been disappointed with John McCain over the last several years for going against his own beliefs in order to be president. However, I hold respect for him on the torture issue. He gave a great fact check on the Senate floor today. He said torture, or enhanced interrogation techniques, gave NO information that led to finding Osama. In fact, he said torture led to many false leads. So, these talking points are just that. The Bush folks are trying to rewrite history.

I hereby most cordially invite you to go fuck yourselves. Your father was a tremendously sociopathic piece of shit, on par with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and others like them.

Our country has spend trillions of dollars it doesn't have to try to find your father. We finally did, and we killed him as he deserved. Dear old dad decided to have over 3,000 people arbitrarily killed. He didn't seem to feel that those people desrved any kind of "trial" before being sentenced to death, so why should he be entitled to a respect he himself didn't show to others? As far as the women in the compund getting shot in the melee, well that's what happens when you knowingly spend your life with a mass murderer. If OBL was such a concerned husband, why did he allow women to be in a dangerous situation to begin with?

Last point, considering how much it would cost to keep OBL incarcerated, the only real solution was to plug him. We've wasted enough money on the bastard as it is already, and I doubt you would have ponied up the money to cover the costs of keeping him alive.

Please save your indignant bullshit for someone who cares. Which most of the world does not.

I've heard from a "reliable" source that some of the porn was of a South Floridian striking a nude ballerina type pose and requesting Osama wear soccer clothes And a second piece was a video or picture involving some type of butt vacuum...Maybe the pics and/or video will be released under the Freedom of Information Act ----I'm just sayin'.....

When I heard the news about the porn, I wished and wished it would be gay porn. Can you imagine? Straight porn would be one thing, but gay porn! I think Al Qaeda would just give up. But, many of his supporters believe this porn thing is a lie and a way to make Osama look bad. So, porn would be the thing to make him look bad? We have video of him watching TV. Maybe there is a video of him watching the porn and jerkin it. There would be a market for that video.

The porn doesn't surprise me at all. It is another example of just about everyone who is a religious nut being hypocritical and having something to hide.

“The trail to bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times. We did not first learn from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the real name of bin Laden’s courier, or his alias, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti — the man who ultimately enabled us to find bin Laden. The first mention of the name Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, as well as a description of him as an important member of Al-Qaeda, came from a detainee held in another country. The United States did not conduct this detainee’s interrogation, nor did we render him to that country for the purpose of interrogation. We did not learn Abu Ahmed’s real name or alias as a result of waterboarding or any ‘enhanced interrogation technique’ used on a detainee in U.S. custody. None of the three detainees who were waterboarded provided Abu Ahmed’s real name, his whereabouts, or an accurate description of his role in Al-Qaeda.

“In fact, not only did the use of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed not provide us with key leads on bin Laden’s courier, Abu Ahmed; it actually produced false and misleading information. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed specifically told his interrogators that Abu Ahmed had moved to Peshawar, got married, and ceased his role as an Al-Qaeda facilitator — which was not true, as we now know. All we learned about Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti through the use of waterboarding and other ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ against Khalid Sheik Mohammed was the confirmation of the already known fact that the courier existed and used an alias.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts
